Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

In California, where every fourth person is employed in high-technology electronics companies,
the College of San Mateo and the state legislature have developed the Electronics Worksite
Training Project to help reduce unemployment by training entry-level workers to assume
increased technical responsibilities.

Employers use a combination of computer hardware and software, Sony industrial Betamax
SLO-323 and SLP-303 videotape players; and electronic testing equipment to deliver in-plant
instruction to workers who have found it difficult to succeed with structured night school courses
at community colleges. Since the video programs respond to input by the student, programs can
be produced that take into account varying levels of comprehension. Open entry/open exit,
modular, and self-paced instruction involves testing, homework review, adapted videotape
programs, interactive hands-on exercises, and skill tapes that emphasize measurement and
troubleshooting techniques.

The curriculum is designed to move from theory to very specific applications. Each day students
are tested on reading assignments from the day before by questions that the computer
randomly generates. To progress, a student must demonstrate competency by correctly
answering 9 of 10 or 13 of 15 questions on a given topic. The next step is to study a videotaped
version of a laboratory experiment. Finally, the student performs certain tasks on the testing
equipment that apply to job-related duties. Students can earn up to 18 academic credits that can
be applied to earning an associate of science degree.

As part of the project, a hotline manned by an electronics professor at the College of San Mateo
is available to students, as...
